Review of Riga’s small-group day trip to Bauska Castle, Rundale Palace, the Latvia-Lithuania border, and the Hill of Crosses.
“It was a great experience and definitely worth doing. Seeing some of the history of Latvia and a small portion of Lithuania was great. The only reason I have it 4 stars is because it rained all day so I was very wet and didn’t get to see some things such as the rundale palace gardens, the tour guide Janis was very knowledgable and friendly giving us history of where we were and even some personal stories I highly recommend this affordable and fun trip.”

Even though there was no snow, the ride on wheels was still a lot of fun – exciting, well organized, and a great experience with the huskies.

“Adam was our driver and he was so much fun. He always stopped by the curb so we would have an easy step down from the van. He gave us recommendations of where to eat and took very good care of us.
